>> ac transit is required by law to stop all of these railroad crossings. apparently, they have forgotten about some of these rules. ac transit bus

drivers have failed to come to a complete stop at these railroad crossings. in fact, this behavior is heavily frowned upon. however, these habits still continue and it all cases the driver should be putting their hazard lights on the but they do not come to a complete stop. based on experience i have seen that it is more of the same. if i were to return a few months later it would be business as usual. to be fair, some bus drivers and did come to a complete stop. but a majority just rolled across the tracks. in hayward, stanley roberts, kron 4 news. if you have a comment or

>> there have been growing questions over possible links between late suspect tamerlan sar-naih-yev and muslim extremists. the older brother had video of a jihadist on his youtube channel. that jihadist was killed by russian forces in the capital of dagestan.where sar-naih-yev spent some time. nick paton walsh reports >> reporter: is there a connection between this gunfight involving militants and police in dagestan. and

one of the boston bombers? the youtube page of deceased brother tamerlan tsarnaev suggests there might be. he put up a link to a video titled abu dujan, emir rabbikalani. the video was removed - but cnn has now found it. and it shows this man. abu dujan is the name used by an islamist militant gadzhimurad dolgatov. russian special forces hit dolgatov's hideout last december. an armoured car brought in to kill as many as 6 militants inside, including dolgatov. the grizzly aftermath showing their heavy weapons. but also the heavy hand used to kill them. four months later, the marks remain of the tit for tat violence fueling militancy across this region. neighbors told us the young men who once lived here seemed peaceful, ordinary.

but in the dust lies a question. why did tsarnaev's you tube page link to the rants of the militant who died here? in a town where tsarnaev's father lived, and that tamerlan visited just last year. inside you can see how intense the violence must have been against this apartment. and here could be the clearest link yet between one of the alleged boston bombers and the violence that's been gripping southern russia. a u-s intelligence source told cnn the tsarnaev brothers' social media accounts are being examined for possible links to extremists in the caucasus. in case they reveal the darkest secret of boston: why did the bombers do it? nick paton walsh cnn makhachkala >> boston's pain is being felt all over the world. today runners participated in a marathon in bethlehem, israel. and no doubt boston is on many of their minds. there were runners from all over the world. some were even at the marathon in boston.

at best. it demands the world recognize its nuclear and ballistic missile programs as its sovereign right.in exchange for even sitting down to talk >> kim jong un probably feeling very insecure and very unstable. and the more unstable and more insecure he feels, the more the need to hold on to, to cling onto this ultimate weapon of destruction, nuclear weapons. because this is the only thing that could ensure the continuation of the kim dynasty. >> reporter: the west hopes kim jong un's weeks-long propaganda outburst will cause china to make a fundamental shift in its support for pyongyang. that may be answered in a series of meetings in china and washington this week. >> if any country in the world has leverage in dealing with north korea and maybe to the point where north korea will be forced to actually give up, contemplate giving up on its nuclear weapons program, it's china.

>> reporter: beijing's interest will be its own. it's about what china wants: economic stability in northeast asia and a non- nuclear korean peninsula on its doorstep. beijing doesn't like the pressure and thinks washington could do more. >> the chinese are very keen to just get back to any kind of talks. i mean, in fact, the chinese regularly tell me, if obama would just pick up the phone and talk to kim jong un, we could solve this whole thing. >> reporter: all parties know north korea is vulnerable. it desperately needs a good harvest to feed its 25 million people - including millions who may be on the brink of starvation. that's why beijing won't ratchet up the pressure. >> the chinese don't want to cause a regime collapse. that's their number 1 nightmare scenario, really. so, by cutting off aid to that extent, they would essentially be bringing on the one thing they're trying most to avoid. >> reporter: in coming days, north korea's military will

be pressed into service in their tens, or even hundreds of thousands to help with spring planting - meantime, hundreds of thousands of south koreans not the military, but ordinary people, are coming out to celebrate the springor cherry blossom festival in the capital city of seoul. people here are tired of pyongyang's threats. for them, talks for the sake of talks are a waste of time. south korean president park guen hye has warned as much. but what would take the place of the 6-party formula.and who can convince north korea to change course? jim clancy cnn seoul >> it was a beautiful dave for the cherry festival in san francisco. the beautiful-day. with no fog expected in the forecast through thursday. great today for the beaches. with
